Seeing as this might be the only chance for anything associated with Michigan to participate in a bowl this year, we here at the MZone wanted to throw our support behind a good cause currently taking shape across the cfb blogosphere.

In turn, they'll rank the total donation by school and display it this week at Fanblogs and Every Day Should Be Saturday. The winning school will have its colors displayed at EDSBS and logo/mascot shown on every page at Fanblogs.

4) The winning school will have its colors displayed at EDSBS and logo/mascot shown on every page at Fanblogs.

And while it's not listed, I've added...

5) It's a chance for Benny and I to show our parents the MZone for a change and say, "See, look at all the good in the world we do with this!" ("No, ma, not the semi-naked ASU cheerleader story. Above that.")

So do whatever you can if you can and help paint the cfb blogosphere Maize and Blue!

And today, the last day of the Charity Bowl, comes with a twist: it's Rival Smackdown Day. So when you you make your donation today, note if it is FOR your school or AGAINST your rival.

Ed. Note: As of this writing, there is no truth to the rumor that Scott Frost is lobbying for Michigan to have to split the mythical donation title with Nebraska due to the fact that Tom Osborne retired 11 years ago.

You can selected where you want your donations to be used (at least for Red Cross) - domestic or international, disaster relief, or other, a specific disaster, a specific community, "where the greatest need is"...etc.

Well this is apparently a slow blogging day. Here's something to pick everyone up.

Apparently USC Defensive End Everson Griffen was picked up by the police. Griffen just days before had "physically abused a freshman," the police said. To squelch any doubts or grumbles of protest, officers interrupted a team meeting and played the incriminating video, which got posted to YouTube.

As we mentioned yesterday, today is RIVAL SMACKDOWN DAY for the Charity Bowl. So... as you make your donations today, please be sure to note if your donation should count FOR your team or AGAINST your rival.

Ready to donate and support your school? The particulars:

1) Make a donation online to the American Red Cross, CARE, or the International Rescue Committee.

2) Email the donation confirmation to kevin@fanblogs.com and state your team affiliation by 8pm EDT on Wednesday, May 14th.

3) Results will be displayed at Every Day Should Be Saturday and Fanblogs throughout the week, with the final results shown by Thursday, May 15th.

4) The winning school will have its colors displayed at EDSBS and logo/mascot shown on every page at Fanblogs.
